UNSPSC 50524910: Non GMO autumn star nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO autumn star nectarines. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50524910 Non GMO autumn star nectarines is a Commodity code representing fresh specialty fruit varieties supplied to state and local institutions through food service and nutrition contracts. State and local governments procure this code when sourcing fresh produce for school nutrition programs, county parks and recreation food concessions, and healthcare-affiliated food services. Recent solicitations show that school districts and county parks request nectarines and related specialty fruits as line items within broader fresh produce bids rather than as standalone commodity purchases; the code appears in procurement contexts where institutional food services emphasize variety, quality, and compliance with food-safety and USDA nutrition standards.

Activity under the code concentrates in school district food-service departments, which represent the largest issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce in the recent record. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Bartow County School System (Georgia), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) all posted fresh produce RFBs and RFPs in the May–July 2026 window. School districts typically embed specialty fruits within larger line-item bids spanning 200–300+ produce items rather than isolating nectarines; geographic sourcing preferences appear in several Georgia and Wisconsin contracts, with the Bartow County and Madison Metropolitan solicitations requiring local or regional sourcing within 400 miles. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4163 for Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Snacks (due July 29, 2026, sourced within 400 miles of Madison and Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for Fresh Produce spanning multiple apple, berry, and specialty fruit varieties (due June 26, 2026, with three delivery locations), and Bartow County School System's RFP 10-2026-019 for Local Fresh Fruit and Vegetable (due June 22, 2026, requiring 400-mile sourcing). These opportunities reflect broader institutional demand for fresh specialty fruit in education and parks food service.
